Now you have me nervous... :headscratch
The feed lips on both magazines look fine. The only thing I notice is when I remove a full magazine from the pouch the top round has sometimes slid forward by 1/4 inch.
Have you found out the issues with this yet? And does this happen whenever you face the magazine either direction, or facing towards the rear? I wear at my 10:30, so the whole carrier usually sits on top of my thigh. If it only happens whenever you have sat down at all, I would suspect that it's possibly from hitting your thigh, but that's just a guess. I'm not familiar with how hard those carriers are down there, but if I used my finger from the outside of my nylon, I could push a round forward from pushing on the side. That's the reason I prefer leather, less give, and it looks good. ;-)
No, I have not identified the issue yet. Shortly after posting on this problem I received a new holster for my 45 and I have not been wearing the 9 mm magazine holster. I have been wearing a nylon double magazine holster with 45 cal Springfield XDM mags made by the same company and I have had zero issues it. I wear both magazine holsters at the same 9 o'clock position. I'm wondering if it has to do with the Sig magazines. This evening I changed back to carrying the Sig 9 mm and I reversed the position of the magazines so that the bullet faces the rear rather than the front. I'll see if that makes a difference. I have every intention of replacing the nylon mag holster for the 9mm mags just out of the need for peace of mind. My preference is for a double kydex mag holster over leather but I'm not having much luck finding one that is not overly bulky.

Problem with nylon magazine holster

I wear a nylon, Barsony Double Magazine Holder Pouch http://www.barsonyholstersandbelts.com/ ... uch/Detail for a Sig P938 on my weak side at the 9 o'clock position. While at the range over a month ago I noticed that two rounds had been ejected from the forward magazine and were sitting in the bottom of the pouch. Since that time I have randomly checked the magazines and at least once per week I find at least one round has ejected from the magazine. The loose round is consistently found in the pouch closest to the front of my body. I suspect that when I sit, the bottom of the pouch makes contact with my left upper thigh. Since the nylon is not rigid, the round is not protected from the pressure against my leg.

Has anyone else experienced this problem with nylon mag pouches? If so, have you found a solution? Alternatively what double mag pouch/holder have you had success with? I am now considering kydex double mag holders. Recommendations are appreciated.
